1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GT RHD

Ferrari Dino 246 GT

Vintage and Prestige are proud to offer this 1972 Ferrari Dino GT RHD For Sale.

Only 498 right hand drive (RHD) Dino GT’s were sold in the UK and this matching numbers example really is one of the finest available.

Recently having benefitted from a superb restoration by Ferrari specialists Kent High Performance in 2014 the body-work is in beautiful concours condition with the iconic curves and shapes gleaming with the beautiful paint finish.

The interior was re-trimmed at the time of the restoration and the quality matches that of the exterior by being completed to the highest of standards.

The engine having covered a mere 36,000 miles at the point of restoration was not in need of a full rebuild, but has been well maintained throughout which is shown in the history folder.

The Dino, named in honour of Enzo Ferrari's son, was a brand for V6 engined Ferrari's and the project that Alfredo 'Dino' Ferrari worked on before he died tragically of muscular dystrophy at just 24 years old.

In order to homologate Ferrari's Formula Two entry in 1966, the FIA requested that 500 production cars were produced using the same V6 unit as the race car.

The Dino was born using the two-litre V6 Ferrari unit which was later used in the early 206GT versions of the Dino. Ferrari used the mid-engined configuration that was working well for them in sports car racing for the new Dino and the prototype 206S was shown at the 1966 Turin show.

The car drew a positive response and Ferrari put the car into production, making it the first mid-engined production Ferrari. A 2.4-litre version on a longer wheelbase, the 246GT, replaced the Dino 206 in late 1969.

The beauty of a mid-engined sports car is the handling, an improved centre of gravity lends itself to better road holding, a Ferrari Dino has great cornering ability and is an enormously fun car to drive.
